| Mistake | Why |
|---|---|
| Ex-couples at same table | Awkward for everyone involved |
| Loud uncle near speakers | Competing noise = nobody hears anything |
| "Singles table" label | Feels forced — mix singles with friendly groups |
| Families far from kids table | Parents need to supervise easily |
| VIPs in the back | Close family/friends near the couple |
